To the editor:
On May 13, local veterans, along with the help of members of Boy Scouts of America Troop 171 and Cub Scout Pack 171 of Presque Isle, Pack 170 of Mapleton and Olivia Locke, Pre-Teen Miss Mapleton, put out 807 grave flags at Fairmount Cemetery.
This task was accomplished in about 90 minutes. A total of 1,051 flags were put out at all Presque Isle cemeteries in preparation for Memorial Day. The flags and markers are provided by the City of Presque Isle.
I wish to thank all participants who helped in this task. This goes to show that, with the help of volunteers, a lot can be accomplished in a short period of time.
